Welcome To Seattle: Braylon Edwards
By gordon on Jul 31, 2012 in Featured
Today I learned that Braylon Edwards was signed by our Seattle Seahawks. He signed a one year deal with the Hawks and there are plenty of pass catchers in Seahawk camp right now so truth be told nothing is promised when it comes to Edwards making the team but I guess we will see.
Edwards career has had it’s up and downs. He can be great one game or even one year then have a terrible year due to be hurt and other problems.
Yes Braylon has been in the NFL police blatter but I am not here to discuss that. Sports Inner City Online is not about that because the majority media does a good job in beating up on African Americans and people of color on sports radio and TV on Sportscenter and other outlets.
One thing I want to point out is Braylon Edwards work in the community for inner city youth. His foundation does a lot of work in the inner city and helps high school students go to college. With out the help of the Braylon Edwards Foundation a lot of kids could not attend college. That is a great thing his foundation has done for the youth. Edwards asked a number of kids to get good grades in school and graduate from high school. If they did he would pay for their ENTIRE college education!! That is a good look by Edwards.
But will sports radio KJR and ESPN 710 here in Seattle discuss this? HELL NO THEY WILL NOT!! Sports radio and the sports media in general want to dwell on the negative when it comes to black football, basketball and baseball players.
Again readers, too many times we hear about African American sports stars doing the wrong thing (I.E sports radio) and hear nothing when they do right. I guess the thing is negativity sells right?
So let’s see what Edwards will bring to the table for the Seattle Seahawks and for our community. Gordon Curvey
